The ant gets fired

🏭 Corporate Story:

      Every day, a small 🐜 Ant arrives  at work very early and starts work immediately.
   
      🐜 She produces  a lot and she was happy.

     The Chief, 🐯 a Tiger, was surprised  to see that 🐜 the Ant was working without supervision.
 
    🐯  He thought if the 🐜 Ant can produce so  much without supervision, wouldn’t she produce even more if she had a supervisor!

      So 🐯 he recruited a 🐝 Bee who had extensive experience as 👷 supervisor and who was  famous for 📝 writing  excellent reports.

     The 🐝 Bee’s first decision was to set up a  🔔 clocking in attendance system.
  
     🐝 He also needed a secretary to help him write and type his reports and he  recruited a 🐇Rabbit , who managed the archives and monitored ☎ all phone calls.

      🐯 The Tiger was delighted with the 🐝 Bee's reports and asked him to produce 📊 graphs  to describe production rates and to analyse  📉 trends, so that he could use them for 📁 presentations at Board‘s meetings.

     So the 🐝 Bee had to buy a 💻 new computer and a  Laser printer and recruited a 🐈 Cat to manage the 🌐 IT department.

      The🐜 Ant, who had once been so productive and relaxed, hated this new plethora of paperwork  and meetings which used up most of her time…!

   🐯  The Tiger came to the conclusion that it was high time to nominate a person in charge of the department where the 🐜 Ant worked.

     The position was given to the 🐒 Monkey, whose first decision was to buy an Air Conditioner and an ergonomic 💺 chair for his office.
  
     The new person in charge, 🐒 the Monkey, also needed a 💻 computer and a personal assistant , who he brought from his previous department, to help him prepare a 📑 Work and 📃 'Budget Control Strategic Optimisation Plan' …

     The Department where the 🐜 Ant works is now a sad place, where nobody laughs anymore  and everybody has become upset...

     It was at that time that the 🐝 Bee convinced the boss, 🐯  the Tiger; of the absolute necessity  to start a climatic study of the environment .

      Having reviewed  the  charges  for running the 🐜 Ant’s department , the 🐯 Tiger  found out that  the Production   was much less than  before.

     So he recruited the 🐤 Owl, a prestigious and renowned consultant to carry out an  audit and  suggest solutions.

     🐤 The Owl spent three months  in the department and came up with an enormous report, in several volumes, that concluded...
                   .
                   .
                   .
                   .
       “ The Department is overstaffed ...”
                   .
                   .
                   .
                   .

   Guess who the 🐯 Tiger fires first?
                   .
                   .
                   .
                   .
                   .

          Of course, 🐜 the Ant.........,

         "....because she showed lack of motivation and had a negative attitude. "
